reading water and sewer bill

[taranwan.livejournal.com]

Hi, I've got some questions about the Somerville water and sewer bill, that I'm hoping someone can help me out.  Not the meter, but the bill. 

Specifically, I'm trying to find out:

What's the difference, if any, between what's labeled as "consumption" and "usage?"  Also, how do I read and use the usage tier chart?

What's a good place for a break?

Davis Squarites: I'd like to find somewhere to spend my lunch breaks on days that I've brought my lunch but want to take a break anyway to read or draw or listen to podcasts for a little while outside the office. If I've got to go to some coffee shop and buy a drink, I'll do that, but I'd prefer to find somewhere I can loiter for completely free. Suggestions?

Sunday Wine Tastings?

Are there any places in the general DS Area that have wine tastings on Sunday? I know places that taste on Friday and Saturday, but I'm looking for a Sunday tasting. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

This was just sent out to Tufts folks -- thought it was close enough for Davis Square folks to be concerned:

At approximately 4:17 PM today an armed robbery occurred off-campus in the west Medford area near High Street. There were three suspects and a firearm was shown. Medford Police has apprehended two of the three suspects, and has not recovered the firearm reportedly shown in the robbery. The third suspect was last seen in the area around College Avenue and Frederick Avenue, near the Tufts University athletic fields and Cousens Gym complex.

The description of the suspect is a light-skinned black male, teen-aged, last seen wearing jeans, a white tee-shirt and a black backpack. He was on a BMX-style bicycle.
